A long flat straight road from Colorado to Nebraska......hmmm, that looks like fun.

I'll give one away here, SR 97 from the Columbia River Gorge to Yakima........sage brush and tumbleweeds with elevation changes and twisties straight out of the wild west. Nothing out there but rattlers and coyotes.

It's funny really that Washington on Oregon are supposed to be all evergreens and lakes and stuff. From the Cascades to the coast, yes but the other 75% of both states is desert sage brush and tumbleweeds so bleak a rattlesnake has to carry a lunch pail...Why do you think they stuck the Hanford Nuke plant out there?

Highways 12, 24, and 95 in southern Utah. Astounding beauty, 5 National Parks and Recreation Area (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Lake Powell, and Natural Bridges), 24 and 95 are empty enough that you can go hours without seeing another vehicle, and the low vegetation gives good sightlines and makes it pretty difficult for a LEO or an animal large enough that you can't run it over to hide.

Highway 191 in Arizona near the NM border from Alpine to Clifton. Long, twisty, beautiful scenery. It reminds me of a desert version of the Cherohala.
